Some of us never improved much beyond the elementary school art class that covered how to draw bubble letters.

And then there’s Seb Lester.

The artist/designer has acquired quite the fan base online thanks to his mastering of the hand-drawn font — particularly his so-perfect-they-look-digital hand-drawn logos.

According to his official bio, his love for typefaces and type illustrations led him to develop custom typefaces for numerous familiar brands — and also led him to discover “a newfound love of calligraphy”:

“In four years he has become one of the highest profile calligraphers in the world with over 900,000 accounts following his daily calligraphic updates on social media sites like Instagram and Facebook.”

“I find the Latin alphabet to be one of mankind’s most beautiful and profound creations,” Lester said.

He recently compiled some of his recent favourite logos into a video for vimeo. Watch familiar fonts come to life in the video above.

Here are a few logos that didn’t make the compilation video:
